iPhone: NSA iSnoop Device?

Another Day in the Empire with the tinfoil hat scoop on the latest device.

"The essential hardware elements of a (Total Information Awareness)-type spy program are being surreptitiously slipped into 'real world' telecommunications offices," Wired News reported former AT&T technician Mark Klein as writing. According to Klein and a report published by the New York Times, the NSA-AT&T "Orwellian project… is vastly bigger" than previously figured "and was directly authorized by President Bush, as he himself has now admitted, in flagrant violation of specific statutes and constitutional protections for civil liberties." In the meantime, Bush has signed a number of executive orders essentially granting himself the power of a Roman Magister Populi, a dictatorial master over the commoners.

Considering all of this, it makes perfect sense for the Apple iPhone to double as an NSA iSnoop device.

¿Quien sabe? Mrs. G has a cell phone, but I wouldn't have one of the damn things up my ass if I had room for a boxcar.
